He just loved the metaphysical aspect of things and created a new kind of art. The Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico founded a new style: “Pittura Metafisica”. His images show a highly complex imagery. They are pictures full of mystery. From 1915 to 1918 he carried out his military service in Upper Italian Ferrara and there his metaphysical painting reached its conceptual culmination.

The exhibition shows works by Giorgio de Chirico side by side with exponents of Dadaism, Surrealism and New Objectivity.
